Hasegawa HXW-6W and HXW-6WL Wrist-Type Proximity Alarm
Occupational Safety and Environmental Measuring Instruments
Helps Alert to Inadvertent Approach to Energised Lines
Worn on the wrist, this auxiliary alarm supports worker awareness by emitting an audible warning when approaching an energised line. Switchgear/cubicle work and lower voltage detection require different model selection.
HXW-6W: AC 1–42 kV. HXW-6WL: AC 400 V–22 kV.

Electrical Safety and Operating Limits
This auxiliary alarm is not used to verify de-energised status. It does not replace isolation, lock-out/tag-out, suitable PPE, or the facility's electrical safety procedures. Detection direction, nearby grounded structures, and site conditions may alter the alarm distance; verification in the operating environment is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do HXW-6W and HXW-6WL alarm at the same distance?
No. The sensitivity and operating range of the two models differ; the voltage–distance table of the relevant model must be referenced.
Are the distances in the visual safe working clearances?
No. These are theoretical alarm references; they do not represent a fixed safe approach distance or a guarantee of protection.
Which should I choose for my existing product coded HXW-6?
Share the label of your legacy model and your application details with NOVEL. The designations HXW-6, HXW-6W, and HXW-6WL should not be automatically assumed to be the same product.
